It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to be near Fenway for the Sox first home World Series win since 1918. Having just moved to the area two months ago, it was pretty amazing that the team went from worst to first and won the championship convincingly. It also was the icing on the cake that they could win it all after what the city of Boston has been through in the last few months. Congrats Red Sox!!!!

I discovered Pour La Victoire a few months ago while browsing on Amazon for random stuff. The pink cross body bag caught my eye and then I looked up the rest of the collection and was totally impressed. The collection has clean lines and classic styles and is pretty reasonably priced as far as designers lines go. Have you heard of Pour La Victoire? What are some of your favorite items from the brand? Check out the full collection here.

I've been obsessed with vests lately, it's a great way to keep warm and add another element to an outfit. I love fleece or quilted or puffer...you name it and I probably own it. I think they will also be a great thing to wear over the Holiday break while I'm in Montana.

Finally got to spend a fall weekend in NYC! We walked the High Line, went to dinner and shopped around the Flatiron district, Meatpacking and West Village. While it was a bit chilly, it was sunny and pleasant - perfect for a day of walking around and enjoying the views.

By the way - if you are ever in Soho, you need to visit the Chobani greek yogurt store. You can get greek yogurt with any combination of mix-ins -- we got the toasted coconut and pineapple as an after dinner snack, it was delish!

I'm heading to NYC this weekend and hoping to find some time to shop the fabulous stores of the big apple. Of course we have most of the same stores here in Boston but I swear that sometimes in NYC they just have better merchandise and some items I haven't seen before. Plus certain areas like Soho and the Upper East Side just have a great selection of stores and beautiful streets to walk on. I also love finding little trinkets at the street vendors.

Finally had a chance to go to Head of the Charles regatta this Sunday in Boston. Rowers come from colleges all over the country to race and luckily this year they had a beyond perfect sunny weekend for it. The scenery was gorgeous, views of the Charles River, the Boston skyline and the fall foliage.

Lately I've been mixing and matching sportswear with regular clothes, like a zip up fleece with skinny jeans or a sporty jacket with leggings. I also love the idea of a fleece vest with a button down and statement necklace. Sportswear is just so easy to throw on but just as easy to make it chic. Here are a items to get you started:

I know it's a little early, but since Hanukkah falls on Thanksgiving this year, I'm already starting to compile my list. I also have a trip to Montana coming up over the holidays so I've been scouting out some stylish snow gear. Along with my obsession with festive candles and Mac makeup, I have quite the list of things on my wish list right now:

My boyfriend and I finally found some time to go apple picking this weekend. We got a nice variety of courtland, red delicious and jonagold along with apple crisp ingredients and apple cider. Now I am ready to use my apples for every apple recipe under the sun over the next few weeks. Here are some that I'm hoping to try:

I love statement jewelry but rarely do I feel that it's worth paying top dollar for. I know it's a trend that will eventually pass by so I try to get the statement necklaces, earrings and bracelets that I want for a cheaper price. A lot of websites carry replica JCrew and Baublebar items for much, much less. Here are a few sites that I've been liking lately:

I am no cook but the fall weather has me in the kitchen wanting to make an attempt. I actually baked last night - easy quick bread pumpkin muffins (they really were super easy) - and now I have my eyes on some other yummy recipes. My only requirement - they have to be simple!
